Rohit Panikker Filmfare Oct 7
3.5/5

Shilpa Nair Anand The Hindu Oct 7

Nandini Ramnath Scroll.in Oct 6
The series finds ways to pull itself back into circulation. Sharply etched characters, who are beautifully performed by the cast, help maintain investment in an underdog saga that soon becomes a shaggy dog tale. Go to Full Review
